about

The new single Gamma Ray Chewingum features DELLERA (Afterhours, The Winstons) on choirs and bass. The song seems to come from the past of the darkest Swinging London to go towards psychedelic destination, driven by the listening of Soul Wax, Blonde Redhead and Django Django. Behind its text, there is also a story: “One fine morning in 1908 a meteorite crashed into the Earth, leaving a gigantic crater spanning a couple of hundred metres in diameter in the taiga of Tunguska, central Russia. The impact of crash eradicated nearby trees, leaving rings of savaged vegetation. The crash was even heard in Scandinavia. A forest robot, who at the time was far away enough from the site of the asteroid impact to survive, but too close to dodge any radiaition, was engulfed by a wave of harmful particles and thrown to the ground by the sheer force of crash. After getting back on its feet, it noticed that its body was glowing. The robot closed its eyes and saw a long wall which cut down the middle of Germany. After opening and closing them again, it saw a group of evil men chaining up Europe, making her a prisoner of the reign of terror and hate. And then before its eyes a mushroom started to grow – but it did not look like the kind of mushroom somebody would eat. And then a rabbit with a star-spangled hat. And then… From that day on, 73N1N the Robot started having visions which allowed him to see into future and predict all the events which would unfold over the course of the 20th century. All but one: the day in August 1969 when he and thousands of other beings would gather in the countryside around New York for biggest concert history had ever seen. And it was thanks to the kiss of an ethereal woman that he became a real human being: it was almost as if he had woken up from a long dream. This song is about what 73N1N’s mind experienced in that moment“.

lyrics

LYRIC

Bought my heart
To the downtown checking for a glittered box to fit inside my own
What I could be?
What I could be
This fool is telling me the way to sail the sea
Hit the dip now as fast as I can be
No one's on my back but I feel the pressure pumping so deep

Bare feet upon the ground
Touching leaves to hear their sound
Feeling myself human yet
I need no, oiling tank
I can talk to you in a different language telling all the truth
I feel I’m carrying a heavy luggage

Egg shaped minds
Into cubic boxes
How can they think without this substance?
Celebrate my birth
Eat my screw pie!

Empty cars rushing by
I can see them passing but I'm upside down
On a sidewalk a Robot Toy told me that the end is near
I feel fine, I feel fine
I'm a matchbox singing for a dynamite crowd
Tell me a lie, tell me a lie
I will make a balloon dog able to bark

This is my head
I can squeeze it
To drink the juice on a hot morning
